Decide what to do with the wiki

We currently have three wiki-like sites: on the hand the MediaWiki instance at f-droid.org/wiki, on the other hand the newly deployed documentation section at f-droid.org/docs and on the third hand the wiki category in the forum at forum.f-droid.org/c/wiki.

I think the consensus is that we needly an easily editable wiki beside the docs on f-droid.org. Keeping both the wiki category in the forum and the MediaWiki instance on f-droid.org alive is inefficient, now really working and causes confusion, as seen here, here, here, here and here.

From what I can see, we have two options:

Repair the MediaWiki instance and close down the wiki category in the forum

Pro

  • Works fine without JavaScript
  • No work for changing log output/app details

Con

  • More work because maintaining both Discourse and MediaWiki
  • Need to invest additional work into MediaWiki for repairing

Close the MediaWiki instance and only use the wiki category in the forum

Pro

  • Less work for maintaining

Con

  • Looks ugly and editing doesn't work without JavaScript
  • Need to change log output/ app wiki details
